Local Example

An example of political landscape in Jersey is the current situation and debate surrounding the  building of new hospital. This has caused a lot of controversy with regards to where the building will be built and how it will affect the community as well as the patients that are in the current hospital. A lot of money has been spent on the research and planning of the new building however to the public nothing has been achieved. This has caused outrage as people believe that money is being wasted which could be used to help the community and Jersey as a whole.

International Example

An international example of a political landscape is the ongoing conflict and war based in Afghanistan. The US-led war in Afghanistan was a response to the September 11 terrorist attacks on America and has been continued since.

This research of political landscapes on a local and international level has helped me develop a better understanding of a political landscape. To me, a political landscape is any issue or story that can be related to by the community. It is all the issues that are presented through the media and through the government whether that be on a personal level e.g. race, disability, gender or as a community e.g. environmental change, war, human rights.
